Prayers for my friend
I'm asking for all of you to please pray for my friend. She had her first mammogram last Monday. They called her back in for a diagnostic mammogram which she had on Thursday. The radiologist told her that they found a "spot" in the gray area. They will do a biopsy on the 17th. She is terrified. I know that we all know and understand her fears. She has a 4 year old son ( her only child) and she is saying things like " He's gonna live without a mommy". Of course her husband is terrified also and doesn't know what to say. My heart is breaking for her and the only thing I know to do is to be there for her and to pray.
Thanks in advance for standing in prayer with me for Vicki.
Hugs and God Bless,
Dawne

Prayers Coming Her Way!
I can SO relate to how she feels. My son was 1 1/2 when I was diagnosed. The first thoughts I had as well were "my son won't have his mommy"! Well, it's now 9 1/2 years later, my son is 10 1/2 and I went on to have a daughter after that (she'll be 6 in two weeks)!
As all of us who know how the "process" works, it all depends on the pathology, whether or not it's in the nodes or has spread to other parts of the body. Without knowing that, it's only natural to let your imagination runaway with you!
Tell your friend that just because they found something, doesn't mean it's the worst of the worst. In many, many cases, it ends up being nothing or caught at such an early stage that it's completely curable.
I know it's hard not to think the worst. And playing the "waiting" game is by fare harder than just knowing what's going on. But, you just have to remain positive and know there are thousands of women (men too) that come out the other end with flying colors and go on to live long, happy lives!!
Keep us updated on her situation. In the meantime, I'll be saying a prayer for her:)

Prayers going up for your
Prayers going up for your friend and you. She is a very lucky lady to have a friend like you. It is always the scariest at the beginning. She needs to be a fighter and I 'm sure she is. Holding her when she needs it and just being there makes you a best friend. She is always welcome here. We are here for both of you. Take care darlin Kay0 -

Absolutely prayers for your friend... If there was never another diagnosis I would be the happiest woman on the planet... along with all of you. Hopefully she will get a good report, I will hope and pray... if by chance the news is affermative, I know you will lead her here...and more importantly be one of the few people in her life that truly understand.

Your friend is in my prayers.
Jake was 5 when and I was 44 when I was diagnosed but I never once had the thought that Jake would have to live without me. I sat down with him and told him everything that was going to happen. The cancer center loaned me books/stories that explained it perfect for a child his age.
He is what got me through everything that I went through. Before I went to the hospital for surgery he and I went into the library and got books 2 of each one so when I was there I could call him at night and read to him while he was sitting in bed so it was still our time even though I wasn't sitting right there next to him. I also bought special cards for him that he opened everyday that I was at the hospital.
When I finished chemo Jake and I went to a camp for 4 days just the two of us and had an awesome time--it was not just celebrating finishing chemo but his birthday.
She will get through this--it is hard at first trying to figure everything out because I had to get my will all settled out because my mother was horrible at the time and was threatening to take Jake away from his father if anything happened to me and raise him herself--she didn't want Jake's dad to have anything to do with him--she is 71 now and he tires her right out even after a couple of hours so I don't see how she could raise him by herself.
Well I am here and I am raising him as a single parent and he sees his dad once a week and every other weekend. He is excelling in school and is a very happy child. He loves sports and does a variety of other things to stay active and keeps me active as well.
